2nd Annual Springer Flotilla (offical Smack thread)

[Gizmo Man]

Looking at some dates with tides that would allow us to fish most of the day and to have a bbq afterwards.

Or. Spring break and WA's spring break takes out a couple of weekends that have times that would have accomodated us. What we have left is Saturday, April 19th. Taxes are over and time to fish.

The high tide at ST. Helens is about 7 am and low tide is about 4:30 pm.


So this is the date I am leaning towards so mark your calandars.

I will have a separate thread for team sign ups, offical rules and what you need to bring to the bbq.

SO....I declare, by the powers vested in me (by me) :smile: to have at it. Let's just see how good you smack talkers are...and remember to keep it clean..

If you can't handle the smack stay away from this thread, but hope to see you at the big event.

I want to see some good pictures and remember no hitting below the belt...except in Roys case...his belt is right below his neck... :smile:

Giz... :smile:


Since some of you who may just be starting to read this thread and some who may only read from where this is posted on page 3 I have moved it to the first post as well so we do not miss anyone seeing this. Those seeing this for the first time will see this again on page 3.


From Jennie/IFISH


Just want to make this perfectly clear:

Thanks,
www.ifish.net (http://www.ifish.net)

And from me and who ever else is helping in this day on the water:


Jennie: Thanks for putting up the disclaimer.

AND NOW I INTERRUPT THIS SMACK TALK THREAD TO BRING YOU A WORD FROM THE LEGAL DEPT. [Smile]

And now for the other disclaimers for those who have never been to a river outing (called flotillas) or for those who may have but forgot the following.

These activities are not hosted or sponsored by any one person or group or bb. They are just a way for us all to be on the river at the same time and then meet at a common place to tell what happened during the day. You bring your own fishing boats, equipment, food and your stories.

Last year, a group of us set out to see which state had better fishers as a result of the past smack talking threads.

Last year we weighted the fish of the participants and WA had the most caught.

There are major concerns about liability when people go to these events. If someone gets hurt, is the bb or anyone held responsible? NO. You are on the river for your benefit not the benefit of any one person or the bb owners or sponsors.

As said earlier a date is announced and who ever announces the date goes fishing with them and several hundred of their closest friends.

If you accept a ride or offer a ride in a boat you and the captain of that boat are responsible to work out the liability issues that may arise as well as sharing of the expenses for the boat.

If you want to eat at the bbq, bring something to throw on the coals just as if you where planning your own picnic. If you want to bring a salad or desert to share that is great!

I realize that I am a moderator on ifish and that I announced this outing. HOWEVER, my or anyone elses involvement in the activity is in no way, shape or form an activity of IFISH, Steelhead.Net or Bob's Piscatorial Pursuits. They are just allowing the use of their Internet services ...these bb's...to announce the activity for the common good of its members. None of these boards or owners has anything to do with the April 19th event. It is a come one, come all day on the river.

With the above said:

Any and all participants should know and they agree that they are participating voluntarily and that there is no one person responsible for this event or the activities that take place in public spaces.

You accept all responsibility for your actions and for any and all damage or injuries that may result from attending any of these activities.
The owners of the bb's and the mods allow participants to advertise events only. They do not endorse, sponsor or in any way have any direct or indirect control or organization of these events.

If you go and some how get injured you agree to accept any and all responsibility and agree to hold harmless any and all other participants to the extent the law allows.

I hope with the above you understand that we are just out for a fun day on the river and a social gathering later. Please understand this.

I would also like to point out for those going that last year many people had their families with them. There will be small children and women there. Please act accordingly. Do not show up if you think this is a keg party or if you intend to make a spectacle of yourself. It will not be appreciated by those attending and you will be subjected to the laws governing the use of Sand Island.

Sorry that I am long winded on this but it has to be pointed out and now it has....

Lets go fishing and resume the smack talk.... (Remember to keep it clean...this is a family bb and many people read it...we can have fun and still keep it clean.

[Thumper]

Let's do it!!!

[Snapshot]

Gizmooo, I am in and will contact the defending champ to see if he is going to come along and repeat. As I recall I at least had the privilege to net the winner last year.....
That's about all I am good for.

*Fish only bite wet hooks*

[Trick]

May the Oregon boys kick some butt this year! We lost our butts last year? :depressed:

See ya there! :cool:

[KingFisher85]

I wanna go :smile: :dance:

[Jeffhead]

Counyt us in Giz, will be Pops, my son Ty and me. So where are you going I want breakfast again this year!! :wink:
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff :grin: :grin:

[Fishslayer]

I'm going to try and make this one :cheers: Let you oreo's show us how it done :tongue:

[Bait O' Eggs]

Jeffhead - I will keep you posted on the location for breakfast. I enjoyed tossing food items to you. Ya looked like a seal waiting for his next fish. :tongue:

When does the smack talk start? :shrug:

[Mr. Fisherman]

With a pink worm and a buddies rod I could be a contender!

Who's bringin' the CRACKERS?

I should even have MY boat running by then. Maybe I should stick to sellin' breakfast burritos? :whazzup:

[Gizmo Man]

Ray: you can't play with us this year....you are grounded.... :smile:


Giz...

[willametteriveroutlaw]

With spring talk of springers, it makes me wonder will trash talk thread get this BIG (http://www.ifish.net/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=26;t=000683) , if that happens jennie might need a news server even faster than one might think.
Yeah i'll actually try and make it this year.

[Willy J]

count puddles and whitelightening and myself in. it should be a blast

[CATCH AND EAT]

Finally, An announcement is made. I vote for no smack talk though. :wink: Roy gets way to deep in thought trying to defend his legacy of springer fishing. :tongue:

The date sounds fine Walt. I'll have team Crow eaters back for another go round. And Ray, I have seen ya net fish and it aint' pretty. :shocked:

[Stz ll]

Count me in Giz. Hopefully I won't be sick this year. :grin:

[Lured In]

Woohoo! Thanks Giz. Count me and my crew in!

Should be fun. :cheers:

[fishchaser]

OK Giz this year I will be there. (I hope) graemlins/1zhelp.gif
Yep, "TEAM BANANA" will keep the baton, if I have anything to do with it. graemlins/stupid.gif

[AuntyM]

Caveman and I will be there.

Is C&E ready for the onslaught of smack talk from me? Muahahahahahahaha! :grin: :tongue: :grin:

[Stuck in the mud]

I think I would like to get in on this. But I need a little help. Could somebody let me know the type of lures I would need to get, or bait. I'm just starting out on the salmon fishing.Please reply.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Aunty M, only if you bring the Milk and cookies. :wink: Will ya be the one in the apron? :shocked: Opp's this is not the smack talkin thread. Sorry Giz. :tongue:

[Thumper]

Stuck --- Where we will be fishing you can troll, anchor or beach fish. The beach fishing right at the picnic site (Washington side of Sand Island) was especially good last year, so nobody should feel left out if they do that. All they will need is a lift out to the island, and I'm sure there will be plenty of volunteers for that.

For the out-of-towners there are good places to stay in Woodland, WA and in St. Helens, OR. Search the main Ifish board for extensive discussions on all this from last year.

[RiverRogue]

I would very much like to participate and am marking calendar to do so. Hope you dont mind me bashin the party as I dont know many of you, but I do look for ward to meeting as many as I can. Most likely, I will meet some out on the water before that date. Sounds like a fun time though and will look forward to it.

[Tilla]

I guess the Sneakin' Out Team will make the scene. It was real fun last year and the get together on the island was tasty!

[Pitch Pocket]

Bad day for the flotilla. I won't be back from China until 1 pm that afternoon.

[snowball]

hmmm maybe i should get off my beach and meet some of you--- can you supply directions?

[Gizmo Man]

I agree with Bernie's comments below so I modified my opening post.

Lets have fun with this and see what creative thoughts you have to make this the best thread on Ifish!!!

Giz... :smile:

I might be able to toss a team together... Halfounce you in for this one???? Corlyn???? Let me know.....I have a secret spot in that area... :grin:

[Mr. Fisherman]

GROUNDED! I coulda been a contender :depressed: :rolleyes: :tongue: graemlins/applause.gif :laugh: graemlins/icon_argue.gif :shrug:

[Lured In]

Its the incredible morphing thread, it goes from an annoucement to a smack-a-thon in just 15 posts! :cheers:

BTW...when it comes to rules for this years flotilla, I have recommendation. If we are going to assign team name/numbers like last year, at least make people use them. :shrug:

I think I only saw one other boat with a number on it. I felt like I was riding the short bus to springer town. :shocked: :grin: graemlins/stupid.gif

[Gizmo Man]

Ray: you are not really grounded...just wanted to see if you actually read anything I post... :grin: :tongue:

Lure In: if you are going to play with the big boys, you need to be able to adjust at a moments notice... :smile: (no sense having multiply threads on the same subject...)

Dr. S. Still waiting for you to show up at my house. Have the saws all ready for that operation... :smile:

Anybody see Birdhunter....hope he is not really studing at school. We need his talents here and now...

Giz...

[Lured In]

Giz...given the number of batons handed out at the sturgeon and steelhead challenges...I suggest we get some of these as prizes.

:grin: :tongue:

[The Fishing Geek]

In case some of you folks are worried that I might come in here and put all of you to shame, rest those worries. My wife goes to college all day on Saturday so I won't be able to attend this gala event.

You may now resume your wet noodle-whippings.

[rags]

Doc,
Let's do it again this year and show them that Oregon and Washington can team up and win. By the way, I have a new secret spot that will produce big Springers. :shocked:

[GutZ]

Team BAD bASS will be back in some form. Remember us? We snuck out about 8am and whacked one in about 3 minutes!

We have been talking about a practice run 5 April. Sand Island and the City of St. Helens deserves a big hand. That is a neat place.

Is this going to be a Washington vs Oregon type of deal again? If so it's time to let those on Bob's board in on the planning. You know we will certainly defend our Side of the River!

[Great White Sturgeon Hunter]

Count me in, this well be my first IFISH tourney, as far as the smack talkin goes I can hang in there. Just Moving down from Washington I can give the Oregon Side the Upper Hand :bowdown:

[Fast Water]

I would love give it a try. Need a ride though...

:smile:

[CATCH AND EAT]

This is gonna be a long month and a half. Giz if you're gonna smack on this thread it should be in the title. Otherwise start a new thread for it. Just a suggestion from a fellow crow eater. :shrug:

[Dakotan]

count me and my banana-cut slugs in! the springers can't resist them! does a person need a boat to fish this event?

[CATCH AND EAT]

No, just anchor your float tube and plunk a line. :laugh: Actually you can fish from the beach or bum a ride from a fellow i-fisher. Usually at these events someone will post they need a ride or have an extra seat available. As the event gets a little closer I am sure someone will start a thread for this. Might put your name out there if you want to boat this event.

[Dr Strangelove]

Snapshot, Rags, lets do it again. I have a better net now and its been blooded with Steelies...lets put the hurt on Springers. Lookin forward to it. Doc

[Stz ll]

Hey Dr. Strangelove I hope we don't put the same hurt on the springers that we did on the steelhead at the steelhead challange. :grin:

[5-Cents]

OK I will put a team together for this event... sounds like fun :cheers:

[No Wishin Just Fishin]

Guess I will have to put a team together to show that the sturgeon challenge was not a fluke. I think uglygreen will be back from Mexico by then so we will have two open spots for ifishers to complete the team which we will choose to call "Springers are Us"

[Drachir]

Aunty M,
Are you coming to the Flotilla too, I hope there some Hood Canal Shrimp for the BBQ!! :grin:

GutZ,
Looking forward to seeing you again, been along time since the Chehalis Flotilla last Oct. :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Drachir, yes, Aunty "shrimp" M will be there. As for the shrimp, well......I hope so. Marsha marsha marsh, always making cookies. I prefer chocolate chip please. Save the soft oatmeal ones for toothless Giz. He can at least gum his food.

Hey I saw BOE springer fishing today.......I think. :whazzup: At least he was trying.

[norms gone fishing too]

no wishen if yor are looking for teammates i am looking for a ride would love to put in an applaction for possible team opening send me an email if intrested and we can see if i would fit in to your group

thanks

[AuntyM]

This is the most pathetic example of smack talk I have ever seen. :shrug:

C&E and GM, cookies yes, MILK NO! Now will this be chocolate chip or soft oatmeal raisin?

For those of you that need it, (Oreo's)

http://www.mschaefer.homestead.com/files/2humors.gif

[Mr. Fisherman]

WOOHOO! A Pink Worm Pumilin I'll go! Now I can get serious about fixing my boat!
We have a top secret stratagey this year. Alter not included....
:grin:
Who you riding with Giz?

[jeremysgonefishing]

Looking forward to winning the baton. I could use a ride beings my ship is sinking.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Aunty M. The Oreo' just won't do. We want the homemade goodies. Too bad about the shrimp though. Glad you are coming anyways with or without the cookies. Someone has to do the dishes. :shocked: :wink:

Fishing the Willamette this past saturday there was a little bite happening. Then I heard an all to familiar sounding boat. You know, the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang like drone of the boat known as the Bait Of Eggs. Well, the bite flat dies when he sets anchor right next to me. :tongue: He proceeds to make my 3 and 11 year old boys cry when he fires up his camp stove and cooks up a breakfast of eggs, bacon, and bagels. He does not even offer any to these boys with big puppy eyes and tears running down their faces. You are cruel Roy. :mad: Did'nt even throw food at us like he did for Jeffhead last year. Ramstrong, you were party to this too. You should both be ashamed of yourselves.

After I finnally calmed my boys down I explained to them that there are bad men in this world. They understood what I was saying when I pointed at Roy. :grin: My youngest then told me "Roy can go kiss a moose" daddy. Fortunatly, BOE moved on after torturing my children. Seems he had a little problem getting his anchor up. Just never know when those pictures might pop up aye Roy? he he he.

AFter BOE left we did catch a fish though. Seems after Roy dumped his bacon grease in the water a school of P-lipps moved in. Spencer go a 4 lb trophy p-lip. But he did the noble thing and blamed it on the BOE vortex. :shocked:

How many hours you got in now Roy? :laugh:

[ 03-03-2003, 08:22 AM: Message edited by: CATCH AND EAT ]

[Bait O' Eggs]

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie what are you talking about?? :wink: I was astonished to see you out fishing with your 2 boys. Your little stunt of putting rags over their head, and dangling them over the side of the boat with your one gloved hand waving to the crowd, you reminded me of another wacko I have seen on TV recently. :hoboy: and your latest cosmetic surgery really makes your lips look fuller, to bad you didnt get them sewn shut. :tongue:

I might have had a little trouble getting the anchor up, but it is the new no slip design anchor I have been working on. It seems to really work well. :cool:

I snapped a few photos of you with my new digital camera. If I only had a geek graemlins/dork.gif handy to format the software so I could post the pics of you and your secret spot. graemlins/dork.gif graemlins/dork.gif

[CATCH AND EAT]

Secret spot??? you mean marker 19? :hoboy: Big secret oh sure.

Cosmetic surgery? Nawh, I'm just that good looking all the time. Speaking of surgery Will they be able to correct your problem. Seems like you pulled your lower lip over your head and swallowed. If they can correct that you might gain a little more verticallity. :tongue: As for the gloved one and myself there is no comparrision. However I did notice you moon walking near the camp stove. I don't know maybe it was just spattering bacon grease. :shocked:

[Bobby Ray]

Is this a friendly no prize event or will it be an actual contest of sorts, I'll be willing to donate some $ for prizes. in any case it sounds like a blast, time to assemble the team.

BnB

[will_e_fish]

I am going to try my best to make this one. I am hoping the weather and fish cooperate as well.
:cool:

[CATCH AND EAT]

BnB, contact Gizmo Man on the prize thing.

[Bait O' Eggs]

There is a booby prize, graemlins/berry.gif loser has to take Catch and Eat home. graemlins/dork.gif graemlins/dork.gif

Birdhunter - you busy playing with your photoshop or out honing your junior wet behind the ears skill. :whazzup:

[AuntyM]

What if there are or and wash in the same boat and on the same team???? <font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">We had several last year. Not a problem. My team will have the worst WA fisher (me) :grin: with the best OR fisher (RJ) :shocked: so it ought to be fairly balanced. :tongue:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Aunty M. confession is good for the soul. he he he.

Giz, I hope you will be well for this event. I know that the old folks homes here in Oregon cannot afford ya due to measure 28. Who wants to make a wager on Giz's next affliction? :wink: I think it will be "springer-ittis" with a mild touch of "cracker hook set syndrom". Get well Giz. Mamma is getting tired of ya sleeping all day and not cuttin the lawn. :smile:

[Bait O' Eggs]

If we put Gizmo and Catch and Eat (who is now over the hill :wink: ) on the same team, I am sure AARP would have some sort of senior blue bird special for them. :shocked: I saw Catch and Eat bait wrapping his fickle pickle with centrum silver thinking he would get a 5 year fish. :rolleyes: Between the centrum silver and the other pill he has to take that is blue, Bernie is definately over the hill and no threat to winning any fishing derby. :tongue:

Snapshot will be with Doc again, Not sure where they got that fish last year, but I guess between a mute fish hitting docs plug and snapsnot not knocking it off with the net even Darwins theories fall apart. :shrug:

I hope some dawgs actually show up to get their tails whipped AGAIN. :dance:

Let's get it on !

Chris :cool:

[Gizmo Man]

not bad smack talk Roy...you have the lead so far... :grin:

Norm....It's ok to have mixed state teams..I will be on one...2 from WA and 1 from Or...

If you are asking if the boat has fishers from two or more states can other members of the team weigh in fish not caught on their rod...the answer is no.... only fish on your designated rod are eligible to be weighed in and counted towards the state that they are legal residents....(If a guy or gal who lives in WA catches fish and is using an Or. issued out of state license its gets weighed in as a Wa caught fish even if punched on an Or. out of state license.)

Another example...Say (and no one will believe it) if Bait of eggs' (an Or, angler) rod goes off and 6 fish are landed on his rod ...he hands off 4 of them so he is legal, me and the other guy from Wa do not bring the other 4 to the weigh in and count them for either state. Roy does get his choice of which 2 of the 6 he weights in.


The reason for this is just in case there is a prize for the biggest fish, I don't want someone to say,,," Joe got the prize for a fish caught on my rod..."

Lets keep this simple and fun.....


This is for bragging rights...not begging rights... :shocked: :grin:

Now Rick you be careful what ya post there big fella. Hate to hear you were licking that blue spot on the screen to see if that stuff really worked. :grin: :wink: And if you team up with Chris I know ya have a chance of putting one fish in the boat.

Ah, Roy, the arch nemisis and once a year springer catcher. Lets see, just how many hours do you have in so far this year? 30? 40? Couple weeks from now you should be approaching 300 plus. Just think only 99,700 hours to go before that first retard fish runs into your bait with it's eyes closed. graemlins/stupid.gif We will all cheer for ya and say BOE is king for the day. I'll briing my boys old high chair so you can have a throne to sit on. :shocked: Either that or I can bring his potty chair adaptor and we can afix it to your porta potty on the boat. Just an idea.

PeptoGizMall I appreciate you putting on this event. It's nice that we can keep oid folks like you busy. :laugh: Now if we can find a rod holder for your walker we will be doing good.

[Bait O' Eggs]

******, is that a picture of tonights pill for ya? :whazzup: After seeing you snoozing saturday with fishin mission at the tiller I wonder if maybe you and peptogizmall shouldnt enter a fishing derby, with a starting time of 2pm, ending at 2:30 due to nappy bye time.

Fungus emailed me the following:
"if I trolled Lake Oswego for springers on 4/19 do you think I could pick up a couple springers and win the floatilla?" graemlins/stupid.gif

My answer was
" :hoboy: ya, I think you got as good a chance of catching a springer in Lake Oswego as anywhere else :hoboy: "

Fungus came back with the following:
"Wanna put a $2 bet on who does better on floatilla day, I have a lucky feeling about Lake Oswego, I have been scouting it and nobody is fishing it for springers, I should have it all to myself"

Do you think he has been eating to many pentium chips with his garden burger for lunch? graemlins/idea.gif

[Tilla]

Looks like my Springer secrets out of the bag, now everyone is gonna know what I replaced my rock salt and blueing for my herring with. :rolleyes:

[Dr Strangelove]

Giz, I won't return my TH trophy from last year for another go around, but after seeing what other people seem to think is valuable, I'll bring a case of Vitamin V just to give you some incentive to try and win. Just don't mix it with your Nitro. Or do....First garage dibs!!! Doc

[Gizmo Man]

Well (not me, I am still sick), I see that old Catch and Eat and BOE's will be taking the lead on trashing each other. :grin: And I thought the old cartoon charaters, Mutt and Jeff and long time disappered. :shocked: :tongue:

As far as the big event goes, my plan is to have team registrations (announcement about 2 weeks before the event).

You can fish where ever you want, starting at what ever time you want.

I am going to have a weigh in at Sand Island at 5p.m (Daylight savings time will be in effect then). We will weigh in fish by state. (no hand offs at the weigh in...bring only those fish you caught on your designated rod...no whinning please about this)

BBQ to follow. You will have to bring a main dish for you including your own dishes and flatware. I think I can talk Roy into bringing his bbq again...can you do that Roy).

Prizes...none planned at this time. If anyone wants to donate anything to the event please send me a private email detailing what you would like to donate.

I want to keep this simple...bragging rights only.

I will have a thread trying to help those looking for a boat ride. Usually people with boats and emply seats have advertised these seats and I hope this will happen....I will not be arranging seats for non boaters outside of the thread I will start.

What if there are or and wash in the same boat and on the same team????

[birdhunter]

Roy, Walt, Bernie, Rick, Others,

No worries on my lack of smack. I'm saving it till the time draws near. Talk about choices. You picked the opening weekend of turkey season Walt! Not that there would be any shortage of turkeys at that tourney. Mmmmm Turkeys and crackers. Now all I'll need is a little cheese to go with the wine. Either from my reel or all ya'll's boats when you come in empty handed.

Mu ha ha ha ha. :laugh:

[willametteriveroutlaw]

Some how some way, I'll be there. Can't let all the old farts have all of the fun. Giz, Just because BH can buy a whole springer at winco doesn't mean he can enter it. Make sure u tell him that.

[cannonball]

The Cannonball express will run on time. Being as I am Unincumberd by Job, Mrs Cannonball and I would gratefully like to participate.

I am in need of a camping spot for the weekend and I cant dig up the info from last year. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, looking for a couple to join us. Have boat will travel is the new motto! :grin:

[Get Bent]

get bent will be join the fun again this year and maybe we wont hold back this year we will donate some tackle and [ no promises ] maybe a ALLSTAR rod

[CATCH AND EAT]

Giz, Roy wants to know if he can just come to the picknic? :whazzup: Something about having to set up the BBQ and trying to get the coals hot. May as well since he ended up cooking all day last time anyways. :tongue: Sure did'nt catch anything. Come to think of it Giz, you might as well help him too. You were on his boat doing the same dang thing. :shocked:

Birdhunter you better eat your wheaties sonny. You are gonna need 'em this year. I have a secret weapon. Trying crow wrapped kwikfish this time. :wink: I figure it will be just as effective.

Aunty M. if you can get those cookies to me before our boat heads out I might even try to wrap them on a kwikie too. Please make them rectangular in form. Thanks. :smile:

[Gus Orviston]

OK, check out these springers! :grin: Roy is on a roll this year. No zipperlipping here since Roy let the cat out of the bag. He and I have been slaying them in Lake O. I think there are more to go around.

Funny though they don't look like the Fall Chinook Roy was catching when I was with him in Tidewater? These aren't as bright as others have posted. I am starting to wonder why he always anchors so far away from everybody else. BTW: these didn't smoke up very well.

http://www.ifish.net/uploads/16241563.jpg

I will only be zipperlip about one thing, you can't catch these babies with K15s...so you have to figure it out on your own :tongue:


Thanks for the fishing ROY :cheers:

OOPS.

They said at the hospital, this morning... "after anesthesia, do not work on important issues, make business decisions, blah blah blah...."
Now I know why. I changed something on Riverskips account, and had to log in as him...I forgot to log out, and posted as him instead of me. I hate it when I do that! I still feel rummy....

[Mr. Fisherman]

Blame it all on the Nookie :grin:
graemlins/applause.gif :laugh: :laugh: graemlins/applause.gif

[Gizmo Man]

Jennie: Thanks for putting up the disclaimer.

AND NOW I INTERRUPT THIS SMACK TALK THREAD TO BRING YOU A WORD FROM THE LEGAL DEPT. :smile:

And now for the other disclaimers for those who have never been to a river outing (called flotillas) or for those who may have but forgot the following.

These activities are not hosted or sponsored by any one person or group or bb. They are just a way for us all to be on the river at the same time and then meet at a common place to tell what happened during the day. You bring your own fishing boats, equipment, food and your stories.

Last year, a group of us set out to see which state had better fishers as a result of the past smack talking threads.

Last year we weighted the fish of the participants and WA had the most caught.

There are major concerns about liability when people go to these events. If someone gets hurt, is the bb or anyone held responsible? NO. You are on the river for your benefit not the benefit of any one person or the bb owners or sponsors.

As said earlier a date is announced and who ever announces the date goes fishing with them and several hundred of their closest friends.

If you accept a ride or offer a ride in a boat you and the captain of that boat are responsible to work out the liability issues that may arise as well as sharing of the expenses for the boat.

If you want to eat at the bbq, bring something to throw on the coals just as if you where planning your own picnic. If you want to bring a salad or desert to share that is great!

I realize that I am a moderator on ifish and that I announced this outing. HOWEVER, me or anyone elses involvement in the activity is in no way, shape or form an activity of IFISH, Steelhead.Net or Bob's Piscatorial Pursuits. They are just allowing the use of their Internet services ...these bb's...to announce the activity for the common good of its members. None of these boards or owners has anything to do with the April 19th event. It is a come one, come all day on the river.

With the above said:

Any and all participants should know and they agree that they are participating voluntarily and that there is no one person responsible for this event or the activities that take place in public spaces.

You accept all responsibility for your actions and for any and all damage or injuries that may result from attending any of these activities.
The owners of the bb's and the mods allow participants to advertise events only. They do not endorse, sponsor or in any way have any direct or indirect control or organization of these events.

If you go and some how get injured you agree to accept any and all responsibility and agree to hold harmless any and all other participants to the extent the law allows.

I hope with the above you understand that we are just out for a fun day on the river and a social gathering later. Please understand this.

I would also like to point out for those going that last year many people had their families with them. There will be small children and women there. Please act accordingly. Do not show up if you think this is a keg party or if you intend to make a spectacle of yourself. It will not be appreciated by those attending and you will be subjected to the laws governing the use of Sand Island.

Sorry that I am long winded on this but it has to be pointed out and now it has.... I would appreciate you all understanding this and not to go picking it apart or gripping about it. I thank you now for complying with this little request.


Lets go fishing and resume the smack talk....

(Remember to keep it clean...this is a family bb and many people read it...we can have fun and still keep it clean.

well, its a city park.....so call the city of st. helens and find out?
I could ask some local police officers I know what the rules are?

[Fishing Eddie]

Wow all that just for a simple little get together :hoboy: I wish I could be there but looks like I"ll be busy that weekend, to bad cause I would have liked to see what team sneakin-out would of tried to pull off this year :grin: After last year little spannnkkkkinnn I'm surprized that they would even come again, Fishalot has the very first baton ever and I don't think he really wants to give it up :dance: If you see Glen and his posse please graemlins/1zhelp.gif them out any way you can. :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLAIMER:

Should you have the misfortune of anchoring next to BOE or ABISMAL MAN you may want to bring a gallon of lemon joy and a brush to scrubb your boat and crew mates with. Bad Karma folllow these guys when it comes to springers and the law of averages point to them rubbing off on you.

You are fully responsible for where you anchor and who you anchor next to. Also, we are not responsible should you choke on food given to you from the BOE boat. It may smell good but you may want to check the experation dates on those bacon packages. Especially be careful should he offer you eggs with tabasco sauce. They may be bait left overs from fall chinook fishing.

As Giz and Jennie mentioned, keep it clean kids. Those that don't will be decorated with toilet seat covers. :shocked: Giz already has to wear on at the diner table now. Seems he has hand eye coordination problems. That and they are a bit cheaper than drool bibs. :tongue:

:grin:

[fishchaser]

And all this time I thought those toilet seats were booster chairs for him :shocked:

[GutZ]

I have 10 pounds of Ribs I will bring to the BBQ.
(HOMER - UMMM RIBS!!)

Will the new Ifish Flags be available by then. I hope there is one for Washington and one for Oregon. I would like to suggest that the Oregon Flag be White. After the whuppin we put on you guys last year, I am surprised you are comin back for more. :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Gutz, you joining BOE in the kitchen all day. Cool. He needs help. Bring your apron and your curlers and get ta fix'in. :cheers:

[Stz ll]

Giz, I agree that this flotilla should be for fun only. With some questions arizing about liability I think this should be a day of fishing only. No prizes or anything like that. Everyone just fishes like normal. At the end of the day everyone can meet to compare notes, show their fish if the want. No one should have to be liable for the welfare of others whcih could happen if this were some type of organized tournament.

My .02 worth.

Pete

[Dr Strangelove]

While this comes from last year's Springer King, I fully agree with Stz II. There is no need to have prizes or even suggest this is a tournament. For cryin out loud, that measly 17# Springer was my first Springer ever :grin: and I was lucky to catch it on a day with a 1 fish:10 boats ratio. This was no contest. We were there for fun and thats all there is to it. There is no need for drunkeness, rude behavior, or all these darn rules. For those who need to push the limits described above however, I have a simple request; hand yourself off the island. For the rest of us, the prizes will be our first Springers, our biggest Springers, Roasted Crow, the Pink Baton, and Friendship. Doc.

[Tilla]

Fishin Eddie,
Team Sneakin' Out doesn't need help from nobody. Fishalot is actually on a roll this year. Sorry to see you chicken out again so early. It's really no suprise.
Did I miss something? I thought it was pretty family oriented last year on Sand Island, maybe you guys just aren't used to Fishalot. He's that way all the time.Especially at 5 Am outside the bedroom window where my wife is trying to sleep and we are loading up the boat! :shocked:

[AuntyM]

Here is my post on Piscatorial Pursuits for those of you that don't visit his board.


AuntyM

Angler # 1921


posted 03-04-2003 04:10 PM

The task of keeping Piscatorial Pursuits members informed and updated on the upcoming Springer Flotilla has been assigned to me. FP was going to handle this intially, but he is off fishing to excess.

Date: Saturday, April 19th
Place: Columbia River, near Sand Island and Saint Helens
Tide: The high tide at ST. Helens is about 7 am and low tide is about 4:30 pm.
Why: To prove to Oregonians once and for all that we are the best springer catchers, of course! (just kidding!)

BBQ to follow at the Sand Island Marine Park. We are asking that you bring your own main dish and eating utensils. Flotilla's are notorius for having an awesome spread.

We (Giz, FJ or myself) will try and answer any questions you have.

You can use this thread to offer seats, or look for a seat. If you choose to accept or offer a seat, this is at your own risk.

Please be advised, this is a private get together that is not in any way endorsed or sponsored by Bob and Piscatorial Pursuits. In addition, none of the participants sponsor this event. We are a group of fishing pals that get together and brag, show off, whine, snivel and have a good time. Nothing more.

Because of legal questions, there will be no weigh in or prizes of any sort.

There will be women and children in attendance, so please, save the locker room stuff for another time. Besides, I will have my 35mm with zoom lens ready. If you get froggy and do something you will be embarrassed about later, think twice unless you want to see your backside posted on the internet!

Good luck and great fishing!

PS..... Bob did not ASK me to post a disclaimer. It just seems some folks don't have any common sense about these things.

Please keep in mind that this applies to Jennie/ Ifish, and Marty/Steelheader.net as well. They are not endorsing or sponsoring this get together.

Thanks.

[Bounty Hunter]

No weigh in?

How are we ever going to one-up the Washingtonians for last year?

Surely no one will get hurt weighing fish?

Say it ain't so.

[CATCH AND EAT]

No official weigh in. :wink: :wink: :wink: Ya get it? :wink: :wink: :wink: :cheers:

[Tilla]

OOOOOOOH! The ole' I'll show you mine and you show me yours scheme eh? You go first! :wink: :rolleyes:

[Gizmo Man]

I asked Marsha to copy to Ifish what was put up on Bob's PP.

The last few days there have been questions raised about liability, permits, tournments prizes weigh ins etc.

It is just too much to worry about. So the best thing for all is to just go fishing for the day and if anyone wants to be at Sand Island at 5 pm for a bbq I will see you there. Much like the baton events. The big prize will be the baton.

If you have stories to tell or anything you want to show that will be great.

Sorry, for the change, but this needs to be fun for all (including those behind the scenes trying to make this a fun event.)

Giz...

[Capin' Dan]

Why can't we all just go out and have fun like we did last year and not blow all this out of proportion. The BB's are just that they don't really have any control over what is being done at the event it is just a bunch of people getting together to find out once again that Team Bad halibut in unbeatable. I think that last year we had three fish. Did anybody else have three fish for their team. I didn't think so. If you want feel free to anchor beside us and watch the fishing clinic it will be free and informative. However Rick (Baitboy is still working on the springer skunk this year)

Looking like I will be missing this get together. :depressed: Hopefully things will change but not looking good for me at this time. Plus, I got no smack'ola going.

[bait boy]

This thing got buried 10 pages deep....

[Tilla]

That's because everyone knows that Team Sneakin' Out cannot be surpassed. You might find them on a panfish thread or something. :rolleyes:

[Gizmo Man]

OK: let's get this going. We have about 3 weeks to go and we have a few out of work guys who are cleaning up on the springers.\

Anyone up to the challenge of doing some real smack talking....


(just keep it clean or else the mods may have to step in...oh wait I am a mod...)

Giz... :smile:

[AuntyM]

Gizmo Man, I was taught to treat old folks like you, with respect. My daddy taught me it wasn't nice to point out things like bald heads and feebleness. But if you really really want to be picked on, I'm game. :grin:

So does your walker get in the way when you have to fight a fish? Have you ever dropped your teeth in the river while fighting fish? Do your Depends get filled up when it's an especially large fish? Who grinds up your food during a long day of fishing? Who gives your your medication while you're out there? Is there a comfortable place for you to take your naps?

I suggest you try some suspenders this year so you won't be inclined to have your pants fall down this flotilla. Bare butts are cute on babies, but pretty gross on you old farts. :tongue:

[bait boy]

Figures :depressed: ... Takes a girl(lady) to talk adequate smack around these guys graemlins/berry.gif

[Gizmo Man]

Marsha: From a person who can only catch clams when boondogging, I take your comments the way they where meant...as a compliment.... Now if you want I can post pictures of you and your catch....but if I did many of the folks who want to bring there kids may be scared off....

Oh wait...I might as well do that.

Giz...

[Stz ll]

Marsha, Comfort has never been a problem for Giz. He brings his sofa chair with him when we fish. He does have a little trouble getting out of it sometimes though.

Oh by the way NICE CLAM did it put much of a fight? :grin:

[AuntyM]

That was one tough clam I tell ya! It takes a lot of skill to get one of those bivalves to bite. :grin: I see Giz did not bother to tell the board he got nothing that day. Nope, not even a measly steelhead. :tongue:

Giz deliberately posted my pic, in an effort to get the thread closed. graemlins/dork.gif Shame on you Walt! The other "real" mods aren't that easy/queasy. :wink:

Instead of cookies for you Giz, Caveman suggests I bring you some cans of Ensure. :laugh:

[Stz ll]

As far as Giz not saying anything about him not catching fish.

As the old saying goes:

Somethings just go without saying!!! :grin: :smile:

[Dr Strangelove]

Here's Giz's Main Competition for this Year's Springer PRINCESS. Her first day on daddy's boat. She says you're in big trouble you smelly old man. http://www.ifish.net/uploads/43362283.jpg
Try my brand of pampers. That might contain that load weighing down the seat of you pants. Prepare to suck crow! Luv Kira

[bait boy]

Doc I see someone let you out of the office again... Thats one sure way of getting the other half to let you go fishing....

[AuntyM]

Walt probably hasn't introduced most of his fishing buddies to his nurse. He is a little embarrassed by her, so he is careful who meets her. Her name is Ruby B. Terrible.

Her is a pic of them together.

http://mschaefer.homestead.com/files/gizwithnurse.JPG

As you can see, they are very fond of each other. :grin: :tongue:

[Gizmo Man]

Gosh: I am being smacked around by women, babies and now some long blond hair ape is mauling me in public. Need to find my pain, sleeping,and heart pills.

My cane and walker are ready to go as well as my electric 4 wheel cart. Now I just need to find a boat big enough to take me and all my medical equipment fishing.

I think I will check with the coast guard to see if they are available that day to assist me. :grin:

Giz... :tongue:

[Chrome Bumper]

I was thinking about coming down to see you guys, but geez, you guys are scary.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Walt, you may want to contact Miss BEhaven. His boat is huge and I hear he has a shock box on board.

[AuntyM]

you guys are scary. <font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">You should see what we do in private! :dance:

[Gizmo Man]

Scary, but fun....

[fishchaser]

Ok now, I won't even start on you geezer. She is doing just fine. :grin:

[Gizmo Man]

beginning to think that there are no more smack talkers out there. I would think that the carrot juice boys would be all over this.

Any interest in the flotilla???

Not very many signing up.

Don't worry Giz, them carrot guys are afraid of one thing............. http://www.ifish.net/uploads/29031892.jpg

[greenbuttskunk]

I'm totally game. I have a boat but would love to jump seat with other ifishers. All set on gear and have dough for the expenses, so if you have I spot open, I'd be into meeting some of you nuts of there like me.

I was camped out on Sand Island checking things out last weekend.

With Sunday the 20th being Easter I decided it would be a good idea to hide a bunch of the Colorful Plastic Easter Eggs. I loaded them up with all kinds of Fishermans treats, like Sand Shrimp, Eggs, Prawns and even a couple with Sardines. They ought to be pretty easy to find after being out there for a couple of weeks! :wink:

Lucky #7

[live to fish]

Hey GutZ your starting a little bit early arn't you.Or do you need that big of a head start to get a fish by weigh in time. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hey, Shane I willing to stand in for you if things get to tough for you. :laugh:

Well, you know Live to Fish, practice makes perfect. I wouldn't wanna be at the Springertilla empty handed like so many of our Orygon brothers were last year.

Giz;
Doesn't that walker give you problems in the Sand?

[Gizmo Man]

5 cents...ever hear those loosing people on game shows. They say at home they knew all the answers but when they where in front of the cameras for the world to see they choked...performace anxiety I think they call it.

All you young guys will suffer from PA when the big day comes...\

And get a real avaitar. Not something that is put into a blender and turned into juice or is used to bait a 'rabbit'.

Gutz...good idea to hide those eggs last week...I think you and your team will have a noise up finding them...

Well, the guys who were supposed to fish with us had to cancel. Then the season closed on the three days we had planned to fish last week so I did not think it would stay open for the flotilla. Since hubby was not about to take more vacation days, and isn't willing to go the distance for just one day, we aren't going to make this one.

Sniff.... :depressed:

[Gizmo Man]

Marsha, sorry you are unable to attend. You know that the Lewis is open as well as the M.C. on Sunday. So although the CR won't be open these rivers will be.

With this said remember this is a smack talking thread...not a....sorry I can't come thread... :smile:

Hi all first post here on iFish! Been lurking for a few days here and love it. Some of you may know me form PP....Been a PP forum member for three years.

Well, I will step into the fray and proclaim that Team BUGS BUNNY is going to eat carrots all weekend long! As a matter of fact, I am glad that you have taken a liking to carrots, because them carrots are good for the eyes, and you will be able to see all the WASHINGTON FISHERMEN AND WOMEN outfish you all weekend long from all the way across the river!!!!
